I LOVE your story!! I got SO excited after I heard your story that I cannot wait to begin to 'give'! I do tend to give a lot now and I feel that anything positive helps one move along a much better path.

I have had MS for 28 years and was told when I was diagnosed in November 1981 at Duke Univ. Med. Center that "I WOULD be totally confined to a wheelchair WITHIN FIVE YEARS". I had just turned 24 years old and I KNEW that just WOULD NOT HAPPEN!! I chose at that point to live my life in a 'Positive Manner" and to shun anything negative but to cling to the positive. After 28 years with MS (as of last month) I have never spent a day in a wheelchair and my friends LOVE "My 'Tude" (referring to my Attitude!!)! Sure, I get down some days because I've also been diagnosed with Fibromyalgia, Myofascial Pain Syndrome, Chronic Pain, CFS and several others! One loses count after a while BUT I cannot "give in"! I also spend some days in bed but when I do feel like going, I GO!! ~ and I keep the Positive 'Tude!!

Bless You Cami. I love the manner in which your health changed so much. Indeed, I love your idea of giving and I would love to get on the bandwagon and make others smile like I know they would....especially this time of the year!!

Hugs!

Joni

Cami - I listened to your interview (Women of Vision) with Lori Brooks and I was very inspired by your determination.

What a wonderful, but powerful idea. I am ordering the book to gift friends.

Wonderful! Thank you for posting! This must be the TV show my first gift recipient must have been talking about when she said she saw the book on TV. I gave the 29 Gifts book (which I read 2 days prior to giving it as a gift) on day one of my 29-days-of-giving.

Thank you Cami for your inspiration! I finished your book today and am on the giving journey. Namaste.

Today I truly begin the first day of the rest of my life. I start by encouraging myself to follow through.

Your story brought tears to my eyes. I, too, think that you saw that request for a reason. You will know that child will enjoy that machine....as your son did. I do not know what I will give away...I hope something reveals itself like it did for y...
